I had last Monday's post partially written, but never got a chance to get it finished and posted Perhaps I'll have better luck today!

The Jigsaw Puzzle That I Just Completed

Highlights from the past couple of weeks include...

... preparing for programs and special events at work. September and October are going to be challenging and wall-to-wall jam-packed!


Prairie State Park
(Where I Work and Play With the Bison)



...attending the family reunion on my dad's side of the family. 

My Cousin, Teresa, and I

...the reunion was a week ago Saturday; on Monday (Labor Day), my cousin, Ray, passed away. Amber and the kids and I were right back in Odessa on Friday for the funeral.

The View From Atop the Hill at Greenton Cemerery

...while at Odessa (on both occassions) we got in a good visit with my mom's best friend from school days and beyond. We are so thankful to still have Pat in our lives! She's a treasure!

... Audrey and I took an art class in Joplin. (More about that in a later post.)


...celebrated several birthdays.

Liz and I Celebrated Her 19th 
and My 63rd Together

...and Miss Sophie Turned One

... the weather has been fantastically cool (nights in the 40's), which means backyard bonfires! Last night I even roasted a couple of turkey dogs over the coals for supper. 



Okay...enough with the highlights. Let's get on with today's post...shall we?
